Rejected petition Let people with the condition with diabetes join the RAF as Ground crew or pilot
I think diabetics should be allowed to join the RAF as Ground crew or as RAF Intelligence like on the E3 or the new Wedgetail this would open up more jobs and more staff for over seas
More details
I think this needs to happen because it's a bit unfair but understandable and as Type 1 diabetes comes more commons less people will be able to join this should change make it limited so not like flying Typhoon for example but what about large planes such as E3 or large air to air refueling aircraft
